Help this guy find a girlfriend, get a modded PS2

Not quite up there with the guy willing to buy an iPod for any girl willing to pretend to be his girlfriend for a few days while his parents were in town, but some (apparently desperate) young man in New York is offering up his modded Japanese PlayStation 2 (with three games) up to the person who successfully finds him a mate:

That's right. I'm giving my PS2 away along with some games all in the name of charitable contribution. Well ok, more like I scratch your back - you scratch mine. The premise is simple: When it comes to meeting girls, matchmakers always seem to deliver better than self-service. I am asking you to play matchmaker for someone who you think is suitable, eligible, and preferably legal for a late 20 something guy with lots to give and no one to give it to. I - after a yet to be determined period of time, will award (by hand delivery if I must) said PS2 to the matchmaker responsible for the most 'successful' match.

About the guy: Fun-loving, adventurous, laid-back yet responsible, Asian guy with a big heart possessing nice cushy full-time employment, living on his own in the big city, and solemnly losing all of his best friends to marriage and them becoming old farts.

About the PS2: Japanese modified PS2 which will play any/all PS2 games regardless of region. Includes 1 controller, 1 memory card, and 3 games.

Kindly direct all your match inquiries, requests, comments, and of course matches to: helptheguy@rayswheels.com

Guess it beats offering a girl's father 15 gallons of insecticide.

[Thanks, foo]

... and i thought I had it rough in my early 20s. This guy is my new hero and the single most significant validation of my past pathetic existence. Good luck my friend, and Godspeed!

Not to knock any gamers out there, but don't you think that the people who would be most interested in his modified PS2 would be suffering from the same dilemma he is?

Okay, so he's got a modded XBOX that but only has 3 games. Either he got it as a gift, has dialup, isn't a serious gamer, or considers "a yet to be determined period of time" somewhere around when Duke Nukem Forever is released, Doom3's Linux client is done, WinFS is integrated into a MS operating system, and when Hell = "Hella cold down here!".

I have offered him a free account to date.com as long as he gives his PS2 to the childrens ward of his local hospital if he finds someone on our site.... Good Luck, helpthisguy!

If he did get a girlfriend I don't think he'd have the time to actually play on his PS2. Of course this could have a "Gift of the Magi" ironic twist if the girl he meets were a gamer girl who thought that a guy having a chipped PS2 was something.

Geeky boys are actually in demand by some women, including several of my cute, nice, brilliant friends.

in fact, I know one who might fit the bill perfectly. So I'm planning to get the PS2.

I've got the market cornered on geeky women - the only female friends I make tend to be ubergeeks, and I actively seek them. Most of us geeky girls are looking for geeky boys who would do something this cute just to get a girl. I'm taken or I'd try to sign up. Then he could keep his playstation as well.
